An hommage to Russolo’s Art of Noises, Rene Descartes’ Passions of the Soul and Jacopo Peri’s Dafne, this is a radio work for ancient theatre noise-machines, stage props, harpsichords, fortepiano and occasional voice. In the Baroque theatre, wind, thunder, rain and other sound effect machines were used, some of which have survived – and these are what Bumsteinas uses, sometimes with harpsichord and/or fortepiano. Sound constructions, though they contain some music and, at one point, a stunning accompaniment to Marinettis recorded reading of Zangtumbtumb. A second work Night on the Sailship is built from theatre sound effect machines, props and coulisse machinery alone. A unique project
